Fog Lights

Anyone have fog/driving lights on their van? I can't decide where to put them. I know they work better mounted low. Anyone have pictures?

Look on the valance under the bumper, has served me well, light a wide path filling the road right up close.

Under the bumper is definitely better, as long as you drive only on pavement. Gravel roads, or anything even mildly off-road, is another story.

Gravel roads are fine, the E350 is not that low to the ground, if it were you can put them in the cutout.

For true fog lights low is important. They have a pretty narrow spread up and down , do if you mount them high you need to aim them down to hit the road in front of you, and then they don't have any reach. If mounted low you can aim then mostly forward and they'll hit quite a bit if the road.


That said, on 4WD F-Series trucks I've put fog lights on top of the bumper and that works pretty well. I end up aiming the lights as high as I can without blinding oncoming drivers and they are still aimed low enough. So anywhere near the bumper works well.
